Czech translation of LibreOffice Writer Guide 24.2 - The Document Foundation Blog
Zdeněk Crhonek (aka “raal”) from the Czech LibreOffice community writes: The Czech team has finished translating the LibrePffice Writer Guide 24.2. As usual it was a team effort, with translations by Petr Kuběj, Radomír Strnad and Zdeněk Crhonek.Mike Saunders (The Document Foundation)
In an attempt to be a less silent majority, I would like more of us to speak up and appreciate the hard work that goes into #foss maintenance. Thanks for a wonderful tool that a BILLION people use, that's remarkable!
a periodic reminder that open source and free software licences enabled the unpaid mass transfer of skills and labour to corporations and societal elites to an extent unparalleled since the abolition of serfdom and slavery.
they effectively seized the means of production, then packaged them all up and delivered them to the worst people imaginable, wrapped with a bow and a little card that said “exploit me!”
and people are still out here cheerleading for them.
How it started: "This change has zero effect on the Redis core license, which is and will always be licensed under the 3-Clause-BSD."
How it's going: "Beginning today, all future versions of Redis will be released with source-available licenses. Starting with Redis 7.4, Redis will be dual-licensed under the Redis Source Available License (RSALv2) and Server Side Public License (SSPLv1)."

#Metal music has anger, love, DEI, truth-telling, and more. So why don't we use it to solve everyday problems, such as having fun at work, lacking identity, or standing for our rights? Metal artists put a lot of effort into crafting their art, and we can find the best use of it just by listening.
I want to interview key players in the metal world and do a #Foss #cc documentary to encourage even more people to help themselves!
Please DM me if you know some metal gods!
Apache Pekko has left the incubator phase and is now a top-level project.
https://lists.apache.org/thread/grl5h0l79oywnjtmfv0mdg3w108vsh6o
That's great news! Pekko was created as a Fork of Akka 2.6, right after Lightbend chose to pull a bait-and-switch by relicensing Akka to a non-FOSS license.
I have already switched to Pekko a few months ago, it went very smooth, and I am grateful to everybody involved in making this happen.

We’re seeking input from #FOSS maintainers as we design a fellowship program pilot. We want to test a support mechanism that addresses structural issues in the FOSS ecosystem, and support maintainers who work on open digital infrastructure in the public interest.
If you maintain open source projects, we would be very grateful if you could take ten minutes to respond to the survey:
https://survey.sovereigntechfund.de/968766
Please also repost and share with FOSS maintainers you know. Thanks!

Whoa! TIL just how widespread Matrix is at universities in Germany.

So @gnome is removing the x11 session, leaving just the Wayland one.
If this goes out before Orca, the GNOME screen reader, is fixed to work on Wayland, it will mean that people who rely on screen readers will have no way to use one on GNOME. And thus on the major Linux distributions.
So I’m hoping the plan is that this change will not land until GNOME has a working screen reader.

If you see the AGPL licenses on my free and open source work and you think “damn you, I can’t use this to enrich myself or my corporation without sharing back what I’ve built on top of what you’ve freely shared and thus contribute to cultivating a healthy commons where others might enjoy the same benefits from my work that I want to obtain from yours” (a) you really have long-winded thoughts and (b) well, you already see the flaw in your reasoning.

"Free Software" is ambiguous
"Open Source" is not enough
Both terms also carry negative history.
I noticed "libre" is becoming more common and is well understood in several languages.
Maybe it's time for a renaissance with #LibreSoftware

Maybe your laptop is decorated with stickers from your favorite #FOSS projects or Linux distros. Maybe it's adorned with your favorite bands, characters, comics, or coffee shops.
Or maybe it's just a sticker of your awesome silly face, like this one from Thunderbird's own @brendan (Shows restraint, perfect centering, makes us laugh: 11/10).
Take a photo of YOURS and email it to us: 💌 community@thunderbird.net
Is the term libre as in "libre software" understood in English ?
